Mage Veigar

Chapter 490 Victory in the first battle
You can’t go wrong!
This is indeed a novice village!

There is no intrigue.

There is no conspiracy.

There is no such thing as you scheming against me and I scheming against you.

If you want to win a war, you don't need to stay up all night to think of a brilliant strategy to defeat the enemy, nor do you need to desperately guess what the enemy is thinking, nor do you need to go through a lot of trouble to collect war intelligence.

The rules here are simple and crude.

Whoever has more soldiers and stronger military combat effectiveness will win the war.

Conspiracy? Trick? Tactics?

Screw the conspiracy! Screw the tactics! Those are things that only senior officers of big countries need to be exposed to. They are just a remote small country and they don’t have plans for the entire continent. Instead of working hard to learn and think about those things, they might as well hold a banquet.

They are just lambs in the empire's captivity.

Normally, if you hit me, I hit you back, and there is no problem. The empire even encourages this behavior. But if a country goes too far and tries to unify all the vassal states, then the last Western tribe that was flattened by the empire is the best proof.

In view of this.

What's the point of learning tactics and playing tricks?

Besides, it is not easy to sneak into the military academies of the empire and the kingdom. Once they are found out, they will not be able to withstand the wrath of the empire.

Therefore, this is indeed a novice village like a blank sheet of paper.

If it were any other time traveler, and if he got the script right, he might have been born in a small mountain village in a vassal state here, then became a bandit, and then embarked on the path from village chief to king.

Wait until there is a small country.

You can then accumulate your strength and focus on development, then use the knowledge brought from your previous life to develop the economy and industry for several decades, and with equipment and tactics that cannot be matched by the present generation, you can crush others all the way.

Take another look at yourself.

Vega discovered that although they were all time travelers, the difference in treatment they received was too great.

Others went to the novice village at the beginning, but he was thrown into a world-class copy from the beginning.

The Kareni counterattack was Vega's first real battle, but this battle was nothing like the stupid head-on clashes of today's legions. The United Kingdom launched a blitzkrieg right from the start to kick off the world war.

He was a Lv.0 novice, and he was thrown onto the stage of international war, competing with the kingdom's high-ranking officers who were at Lv.7, 80, or even the maximum level?

This battle also directly led to Vega's life hanging by a thread.

He racked his brains and put in all his efforts, and finally turned defeat into victory.

This made Vega doubt for a moment why some people would believe that everything would go smoothly after traveling through time in novels.

But today, it seems that there was something wrong with his way of traveling through time. He mistook the coordinates of the world-class copy for the coordinates of the Novice Village, so that when he saw this Novice Village-style war today, he was almost moved to tears.

These are all belated benefits for newbies.

With such newbie benefits in front of him, is it possible that he would not want them?

So the full-scale battle began.

The coalition forces had a total of 70 troops, but only 30 actually participated in the war. The rest were left in the camp and not dispatched, because the more people there were, the slower the marching speed would be, and there was no need to go out in full force just to attack the city.

Veigar's side has 20.

This is the main force brought by Vega. As for the defenders, they will still hold the city according to the original plan to prevent any accidents.

This was a battle between armies. Vega did not use the air force he brought with him because the enemy had not yet activated their air force and he certainly could not use it. If you use the air force to cover the ground forces, then when you are exhausted, the enemy suddenly deploys their air force, and the result is predictable.

Therefore, in a frontal battle.

Unless one side's air force is several times larger than the other side, both sides will use the air force as a trump card. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. Whoever moves first will be in danger of losing the entire air force.

Under this premise.

The situation of this war is now very clear.

The coalition forces had 30 troops against the dynasty army's 20.

The coalition forces have a considerable advantage in numbers, and their quality is almost the same as Vaigar's army.

After all, the empire strongly encourages small countries to attack each other within the rules of the game they set, in order to prevent the vassal states from continuing to grow and threaten their rule, so the soldiers of each country have considerable combat experience.

Of course, this experience is limited to hand-to-hand combat.

They are even stronger than the dynasty in "hand-to-hand combat". After all, most of these vassal states are located near the Jialan Mountains. They occasionally clash with the soldiers of the Free Alliance who cross the mountains. Although they have only lost and not won over the years, it has directly improved their overall combat effectiveness.

Experience is experience.

Soldiers' combat experience is the least important thing in a war; even morale is more important than experience.

Therefore, what can truly change the course of battle must be the talents and final decisions of the commanders. Even in a frontal battle that least tests the commander's talents, a commander who is proficient in changing formations is needed to preside over the overall situation.

Although Vega didn't dare to say how strong his formation connection was.

However, a well-informed person can apply what he has learned to other situations. He used the principle of the Kingdom's blitzkrieg to form a cone formation, so Vega's high-level forces formed an independent attack force, directly dividing the 300,000 enemy troops into several square formations, and then let the ordinary soldiers following these high-level forces surround and defeat them one by one.

The battle was almost one-sided.

After the coalition forces of various countries were cut off, they were unable to take care of the front, rear and flanks. To put it more specifically, the coalition forces were like a palm with five fingers forcibly pried apart. Even with enormous strength, they could not concentrate their strength in one place.

And what about Veigar?

His army was like a clenched fist, leaving the coalition forces of various countries powerless to fight back.

This is where the power of the formation lies.

If the formation is properly connected and the morale is very high, it is not difficult to win with a smaller force.

Some officers who are very proficient in frontal combat will even deploy an ambush before the frontal battle begins, and suddenly cut into the battle or insert into the rear at the critical moment of the war, directly laying the foundation for the victory of the entire war.

Of course, the timing of this entry needs to be very precise.

Often, this timing is the key to distinguishing which officer is better.

Of course, there was no need to consider timing and ambushes in the war here with Vega. He crushed the enemy soldiers and within less than an hour, the enemy soldiers began to flee in panic. It was a completely one-sided massacre.

until now.

The kings of the coalition forces finally began to panic.

They had no idea why their 30-strong army was beaten and fled in panic by Vega's 20-strong army. If someone didn't know, they would think that there were 20 of them and Vega had 30.

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous.

But that is the fact. Even though the result that their army is vulnerable is before them, they still cannot figure out the reason.

Perhaps only the King of the Principality of Baya, Grand Duke Reynolds Baya, and the general of the Principality of Chife understood that the fundamental reason for their defeat in this battle was their formation.
